Star Wars, The Dark Side. £70 Jackpot Red Gaming Fruit Machine

Release Date:07 - 03 - 2011

A shamefully poor fruit machine from Red Gaming

Star Wars, The Dark Side is unfortunately a pretty poor fruit machine from Red Gaming, the people who generally make (or made) reasonably playable machines, especially going back further in time. This time however, their final, or one of their final £70 pub gaming machines is a big disappointment.

At first glance it comes across as a typical, forcable fruit machine, with the usual red features, and high wins off the nudges. Unfortunately due to the continued forced collection of wins, this makes for a very unfriendly player experience. Frequently the player will have large wins forced upon them, setting back the jackpot further and further. You can of course get lucky, and you may avoid many of these large wins, either by sheer luck, or by strategically collecting low value features when a high auto-collect pot is building up. This tactic can't be used once you are beyond a certain point, and losing the gamble at £50 to have £17 forced upon you does not make for a good player experience.
